Minnesota at Philadelphia (12/28/2010)

Hey tictac....not trying to beat a dead horse...but I was thinking more about the whole juice thing...I agree Vegas is happy with the juice, as the juice is pretty much an insurance for them that they will turn a profit, however, there is no way they are simply satisfied with just juice.  Some lines simply dont make sense and definitely traps set by Vegas to lure the public into betting a certain side.  A prime example of this would be Denver +2.5 this past weekend.  Denver with rookie Tim Tebow at the helm, a recently fired headcoach, and absolutely no defense going up against Matt Schaub and the Texans.  Now ask yourself, if Vegas was simply happy with only the "juice" or the 50/50 split why would the Broncos be getting only 2.5?  It could have been 3? shit it could have been 7 and they maybe would have gotten a 50/50 split still.  My point is, Vegas is greedy and is more than capable of setting "traps" and suckering people into betting a certain side, infact they probably try to do it with every game where they feel they have an edge, unfortunately for us though traps are not always obvious.  MORAL OF THE STORY IS WATCH OUT FOR THE TRAPS!

Going with PHILLY -14, but as we all know 14 points is a lot in the NFL especially in bad weather right?

GOOD LUCK ALL

Funny the Covers Experts had the free picks up last week and had one guy going for Denver and another guy going Houston.  How can the covers experts be against one another in the same game.
